Quotations
Suffering
The more the diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
-Thomas Guthrie
The root cause of all miseries lie hidden in "Me and Mine". If it is my wealth, then
the pain of losing it, if it is my body, then the affliction of sickness... Whereas in
reality, there is nothing yours other than the feeling of your "Being".
-Deep Trivedi
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
